Kilimanjaro Safari

Maybe you have always dreamed about going on a Safari but don’t have the funds to travel all the way to Africa? Well, thanks to Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World you don’t need to, you can take the Kilimanjaro Safari at the theme park, great fun adventure.

In a nutshell, you will be riding in a jeep and coming across many animals in their natural habitat. Don’t worry, this is completely safe, as the jeep will never go too far towards animals that could potentially hurt you and your family. Besides the ride is something that the animals are already used to. At the end of the day, the last thing you want is having the highlight of your vacation trying to fight off a hungry lion! But don’t worry…it won’t happen.

Dinosaur ride

Another popular attraction in the Animal Kingdom is the Dinosaur ride, and this is the perfect place to be if you have an interest in history. So what exactly is it? Well, once you are strapped in, expect to be taken on a fascinating ride through the Crustaceans era, where dinosaurs still ruled the earth and everybody else lived in fear. While this ride is mostly suitable for everybody, younger children might find it a bit too much as it does get scary and dark in some places.

Festival of the Lion King

Who doesn’t love the movie The Lion King? Thankfully, Disney have decided to include a show based on the popular movie, and it features a wide variety of acts and performances. This really is a great show for all the family, as it only lasts 30 minutes and the songs are great for singing along to. This is one of my favorites of all time, the show is absolutely wonderful. In addition, they select a few from the audience to par-take in the fun, and watching your kids dance away to songs from the Lion King, will be the highlight of your stay at Walt Disney World.
